Brand new to the forum and hopefully, someone can help me out.



In my header I have created a table. In one cell I have inserted a logo and the other cell I have inserted my company name.

I'm changing my logo (updating it) and I was wondering if there was anyway to change out the logo without editing every single document.

Thanks.

IG.

Hi IG,

Every document will have to be updated - but presumably you'd only be doing this for new documents anyway, since a change to old documents means they wouldn't reflect the content when they were printed/sent (which could have legal implications), plus changing the logo means changing those document's 'last modified' date. Still, if that, what you want to do, see: https://www.msofficeforums.com/word/...rate-docs.html

If you're using a template, changing the logo in the template means all new documents based on that template will have the new logo.

I was afraid of that (having to edit all the "form" documents).

Is there way to have all headers/footers linked to a master template?

Hi IG,

Every document is based on a template (typically, Normat.dotx/m). If you create a template for your business, with the logo and company name in the header, then any document created from that template will have the logo and company name in the header.

Although you can have any of the header elements (logo/company name, or even the entire header) in the template - and, hence any derived documents - linked to external files, so that changing the content in the external files updates all the derived documents, that's generally unadvisable for the reasons given earlier.
